  • The development of intent-based moral judgment and moral behavior in the context of indirect reciprocity: a cross-cultural study
    'SAGE Publications', 2020
    Co-Authors: Wenwen Hou, Liqi Zhu, Michael Tomasello
    Abstract:

    The current study investigated the cultural differences in the developmental origins of children’s intent-based moral judgement and moral behavior in the context of indirect reciprocity. To this end, we compared how German and Chinese children interpret and react to antisocial and prosocial interactions between Puppets. An actor puppet performed either a positive or negative act toward a prosocial or antisocial target puppet with the intention to cause harm or not. 197 three and five-year-old children participated as a third-party and were asked to judge the actor puppet’s behavior and to distribute stickers. Results showed that 3-year-old Chinese children were able to take intention and context into account when making moral judgments and distributing resources, whereas German children did not seem sensitive to intention until the age of 5. These findings suggest that culture may mediate children’s intent-based moral judgment and moral behavior in the context of indirect reciprocity.

  • the sources of normativity young children s awareness of the normative structure of games
    Developmental Psychology, 2008
    Co-Authors: Hannes Rakoczy, Felix Warneken, Michael Tomasello
    Abstract:

    In two studies, the authors investigated 2- and 3-year-old children’s awareness of the normative structure of conventional games. In the target conditions, an experimenter showed a child how to play a simple rule game. After the child and the experimenter had played for a while, a puppet came (controlled by a 2nd experimenter), asked to join in, and then performed an action that constituted a mistake in the game. In control conditions, the puppet performed the exact same action as in the experimental conditions, but the context was different such that this act did not constitute a mistake. Children’s normative responses to the puppet’s acts (e.g., protest, critique, or teaching) were scored. Both age groups performed more normative responses in the target than in the control conditions, but the 3-year-olds did so on a more explicit level. These studies demonstrate in a particularly strong way that even very young children have some grasp of the normative structure of conventional activities.

  • a sock puppet detection algorithm on virtual spaces
    Knowledge Based Systems, 2013
    Co-Authors: Zhan Bu, Jiandong Wang
    Abstract:

    On virtual spaces, some individuals use multiple usernames or copycat/forge other users (usually called ''sock puppet'') to communicate with others. Those sock Puppets are fake identities through which members of Internet community praise or create the illusion of support for the product or one's work, pretending to be a different person. A fundamental problem is how to identify these sock Puppets. In this paper, we propose a sock puppet detection algorithm which combines authorship-identification techniques and link analysis. Firstly, we propose an interesting social network model in which links between two IDs are built if they have similar attitudes to most topics that both of them participate in; then, the edges are pruned according a hypothesis test, which consider the impact of their writing styles; finally, the link-based community detection for pruned network is performed. Compared to traditional methods, our approach has three advantages: (1) it conforms to the practical meanings of sock puppet community; (2) it can be applied in online situation; (3) it increases the efficiency of link analysis. In the experimental work, we evaluate our method using real datasets and compared our approach with several previous methods; the results have proved above advantages.
